In a sport that is the epitome of individualism, Jefferson Forest's golf team showed the value of teamwork.

As a result, the Cavs made it nearly all the way to the summit of state golfdom. In a fiercely contested two-day tournament, the champions of district, conference and regional tourneys were edged out of a State crown by a trio of strokes.

Liberty takes its well-earned bye this weekend. The Minutemen roll into an off-week sporting an overall record of 4-2 and a district mark of 1-2.

After running through a gauntlet that included Staunton River, Rockbridge, Brookville, Harrisonburg, Rustburg and E.C. Glass, the Minutemen get a chance to catch their collective breath prior to returning to the football fray on Oct. 18.

The Jefferson Forest linksmen have had a remarkable run this autumn, earning scads of trophy, accolades and (most importantly) the respect of their fellow duffers.

The Cav crew played for the 4A-North regional championship this past Tuesday. That tourney, held after press time for this newspaper, was held at Harrisonburg's Heritage Oaks Golf Course, and pitted the top two squads of Conferences 21, 22, 23 and 24.
